Tema Port Expansion Marks Turning Point for Ghana’s Maritime Future.

-


President John Dramani Mahama on Thursday 13th November 2025 commissioned the first two phases of the $1.5 billion Tema Port Expansion Project, a major infrastructure milestone aimed at strengthening Ghana’s position as a regional trade powerhouse.



The high-profile ceremony drew a strong presence of national and local leaders, including the Hon. Mayor of Tema, the Board Chairman of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA), and the Members of Parliament for Tema West and Tema East. Their attendance underscored the strategic importance of the expansion to both the Tema metropolis and Ghana’s wider economic ambitions.


The project which was executed through a partnership between Meridian Port Services (MPS), GPHA, APM Terminals and Africa Global Logistics (AGL)—stands as one of the largest and most advanced port upgrades in sub-Saharan Africa. Designed to boost capacity, efficiency and speed of operations, the expansion is expected to significantly ease congestion, reduce turnaround time and cut the cost of doing business.


Speaking at the event, President Mahama described the development as “a turning point for Ghana’s maritime future,” noting that the enhanced facilities will attract increased investment and elevate Ghana’s status in international trade. He said the upgraded port will strengthen supply chain systems, support exportes and imports, and open new avenues for job creation.





The Hon. Mayor of Tema, who joined the President and dignitaries in touring the new installations, highlighted the project’s potential to stimulate economic activity across the metropolis and deepen Tema’s role as Ghana’s industrial anchor.


With the commissioning of the first two phases, Ghana moves a step closer to completing a state-of-the-art port complex poised to reshape the nation’s logistics landscape and enhance its competitiveness across global markets.

MTN’s clear disinterest in addressing the loopholes within its mobile money system - Yaw Ntim Afriyie speaks Out  Yaw Ntim Afrifa, a Brand Strategist and lead of Euphrate Agency and Oxcode.io on his Facebook page speak on MTN  MobileMoney Limited (MoMo), the operating service, which has refuted allegations of a system breach of a viral social media complaint from a customer who claimed GH¢11,000 was withdrawn from her mobile wallet without her consent. Sometime back, when the Government of Ghana was pressing MTN Ghana in an attempt to minimize its enormous market share, I didn’t understand. My position was: why would you make a business suffer for its product and marketing brilliance? I guess now I do understand. MTN’s clear disinterest in addressing the loopholes within its mobile money system stems from one primary fact — it doesn’t hurt their numbers. MTN controls some crazy market elasticity, where even in the face of a full-blown scandal, the company still retains a massi...

Gideon Aryeequaye appointed as the Executive Secretary of CAA marks  the beginning of a new dawn for the creatives. Kojo Preko Dankwa (FOCAP President) writes I am happy with the current government in appointing a substantive executive secretary for the Creative Arts Agency(CAA).   Indeed, this shows the level of interest, energy, and zeal to see the Creative Arts sector grow up.  This is not a government that didn't take seriously the Creative Arts sector but rather toyed with the business and lives of the Creatives by shamelessly living it in the hands of the former  President's  Daughter (Gyankroma Akuffo Addo) to operate as if  it was her personal property.   Ministers couldn't speak the truth to power and did not have the balls to drop Gyankroma Akuffo Addo but rather allowed her to deepen the woes of the creative arts sector as the illegal executive secretary of the Creative Arts Agency. When FOCAP and I decided to blow the whistle of being citiz...
